Big D is regressing to more child-like behavior over time. I wonder if this is a reflection of Tat's view of patriarchal responses to feminism.

i think it's just a result of my little pony

Can we combine these two theories and say that he's poking fun at manchildren?

I think Tat just thought it would be hilariously random to have Big D love My Little Pony. On almost every other character, it's no where near as funny.

...except maybe Xanthe.

How about Seymour?

No, Seymour would condemn it for promoting 'witchcraft and hedonism' or some other ridiculous nonsense. Also, I think Xanthe's reaction to finding out that Big D is a brony would be something along the lines of "Well even evil bastards can have good taste" or something like that._________________...if a single leaf holds the eye, it will be as if the remaining leaves were not there.http://about.me/omardrake

You know, some times, a funny joke is just a funny joke. I don't really think there is any subtext here other than it's funny to see the devil sucking his thumb and moping.

Au contraire, can there possibly be a greater symbol for the mass brainwashing of young girls than My Little Pony? And who do you suppose is upset that the mass brainwashing has not only failed against the Sisterhood, but is now the only comfort to the would be brainwasher?
